"Win 30 games of caravan"

This is the only one I have yet to get because caravan is such a omgwtfbbq of a game.

Really? I got that one rather quickly. Get between 21 and 26 on 2 more places then your opponent. Numeric cards go in the order you place them or the suit, queens change order and suit, kings double whatever you put them on, jacks take whatever you put them on, and Jokers take away all duplicate cards except the one it is played on. It's essentially Blackjack on meth.

Edit: To win easily, use only 6's, 7's, 8's, 9's, 10's, and kings. If all you have is Caravan Deck, also add 2 jacks and queens, and you should be fine. I usually win quickly by playing 10, then 6, then king on 10, or 9 then 8 then king on 9, or anything like that that adds to a number in between 21 and 26. And you can play face cards (aces don't count) on your opponent, turn their 26 to 36, or 16, whatever.

That one's quite boring; but easy if you drown, eat, repeat.

At a Loss for Words is the only one I couldn't do, and couldn't be arsed with.

Caravans very easy IMO. Also, hardcoe mode is my hardest simply because I cant be bothered to do HC.

If you jack your luck score up really high, you can't lose when gambling.

As in, *literally* can't lose. I kept trying and couldn't lose. The A.I. effectively made every NPC throw each game repeatedly by giving them bad hands and making them play poorly until I won by sheer probability.

I don't know about the hardest, but steam says that Artful Pocketer is the (original game) achievement with the lowest completion rate at only 1.1%. Caravan Master's at 1.6% and Desert Survivalist is at 1.8%.

An easy way to pick 50 pockets-

Switch to hardcoe and pickpocket Manny Vargas 1 bullet at a time; he has 50 bullets :)

It counts as 50 Pickpockets

If you can manage to get down to 8's, 10's, K's and J's it's almost literally automatic. I've only ever lost 3 hands and those were from running out of cards. The 6's should be the first to go, leaving you winning combos of 10-9-7 and 10-8(K). Q's and Jokers are highly situational and low cards waste time.
(yeah, i got the achievement. No-Bark Noonan alone bought me a fully-modded AMR and T-51b armor. :tongue: )

I built my own caravan deck (in real life) using 5 or 6 complete decks, took out 4 spades and 4 hearts of 6's 7's 8's 9's 10's, and kings. Along with a couple queens and jacks with the same suits. I've yet to lose. It's so cheap. But I let my opponents build their own decks with those cards or just take a fresh deck of cards, they always elect to take the fresh deck. In New Vegas, I've lost 4 games of Caravan, and have won just under 200.

That's not an achievement, that's a hidden perk.

For me the hardest achievements are: Artful Pocketer (I actually had to go look this up to see what it was after it was mentioned earlier), Desert Survivalist, and the two Legion achievements. (Simply because I dislike the Legion)

Anyone else get a problem with Desert Survivalist going down when eating food instead of up? I hit level 50, got the 50 Perk so my health was like 585/485 [Don't know if it glitched or if it's supposed to be like that] And any food my guy ate after 485 would lower it. It was annoying, getting it to 8500+ about 120 hours in, then about 5 hours later noticing it was ~6400. I was so annoyed.

Ended up placing some mines under me, blowing them up, then eating about 30 Gecko Steaks and 4 Gecko Kabobs. Apparently as long as it doesn't fill your health up by the initial consummation, any health you would restore by food eaten counts. Kind of reminded me of that episode of Malcom in the Middle where Frances eats 100 Marshmallow Pepes.

So that was the most annoying achievement I've gotten, only because I was trying to earn it naturally. Don't look forward to getting the GRA Three Star Achievement though.

All were pretty easy from the base game only one that took me a while were Desert Survivalist and the Caravan one, caravan wasn't hard just took me a while to understand the game and now I'm WINNING :P
Desert Survivialist was time consuming since stims are easier to use but on my Pure Legion playthroughs hitting 10000 points from food was easy.

Hardest personal achievement from Fallout for me is sticking to a RP ffrom start to finish.. Always get side tracked
